"In order to welcome the Earl Biden of the Kingdom of Fidcary and the Viscount Wilson of the Kingdom of Chessland, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has prepared a special reception, and we princesses and princes have also received invitations. Jenkins, can you go with me? "

　　 Alexia asked, Jenkins nodded after thinking about it, but still had some questions:

　　 "Why did Chesland only send a Viscount as a special envoy? This specification is not enough, right?"

"Viscount Wilson is related to the royal family of Stuart, and this time Viscount Madison Wilson lived in Roon until he was 18 years old. He is quite familiar with the social circle of the city. He earned his title by himself. His father Wilson Sr. was the real Duke of Chessland, and he only had two sons, so Chessland sent a very capable person this time."

　　 Julia explained to the side that Jenkins only understood, and because of this, he understood the reason why Alexia said that Ruen would become more "chaotic" last night.

　　 After experiencing Nolan’s two adventures in succession, Jenkins has become exhausted, so he plans to take a break recently, except for daily wandering around Nolan’s Civic Square, and try to avoid any outings.

　　 So starting from Wednesday this week, he spent a lot of his time in Ruen's manor. In addition to completing the daily learning tasks sent by the father remotely, it is to help Dolores handle some official documents.

The finance department under her leadership is now on the right track, and because when the confidants came to visit, they saw Jenkins walking around with a cat in Dolores’ house many times, so “foreign writers and The rumors of "the princess cohabiting" spread like wildfire in Luen's aristocratic social circle.

Jenkins didn't know this. This was mentioned by Alexia during a small chat one night. At that time, the two were lying on the roof and watching the stars. The night sky in the north is really beautiful, and there is no dense fog to cover the sky. , In the manor on the outskirts, you can see the starry sky and the dazzling galaxy.

　　 "Are you suspicious, this news was deliberately released by Dolores?"

　　 Jenkins asked, and then felt his cat rubbing his profile.

　　 "Does this still use doubt?"

　　 Alexia asked, Jenkins wanted to nod, but because he was lying down, it was difficult to do this.

　　 So this is the weekend of this week. During this week, Ruen and Nolan are quite peaceful. Except for knowing the battle situation on the front line from the newspaper every day, life seems to be going on peacefully.

　　 During this period, Jenkins completed eight transactions with the old man of the clock tower in the doomsday illusion, and only the last two were left to push the illusion away. Nolan is still investigating the strange incidents that have happened frequently recently, but there is no clue about the Titans, and the alien invasion is because Jenkins, Mr. Hood and Mr. White Cat, together with Mr. Hood and Mr. White Cat, dropped the ambassador’s body on the street. The Principality was bad luck.

　　 It just happens to be during the war. The kingdom also needs to do something to kill the chickens and warn the restless elements in the country. The Ancient Austrian Principality has not even reacted to it, it was invaded by the Fidiktelli's cavalry regiment. They did not embarrass the civilians, but it is said that the palace where the duke lived was razed to the ground.

　　 The information received from Miss Bevana proves that the Ancient Austrian Principality is related to the [Tree House], which has almost penetrated the upper and lower parts of the Principality, and this alien invasion is also theirs, and the purpose seems to be purely to cause disaster.

　　 "Needless to say, I know what they want to do."

　　 Jenkins thought of it when he heard the news.

　　 At the same time, he also took time to visit Miss Audrey who lives in the suburbs of Nolan. Miss Audrey recommended Jenkins to "divine" their origins when those terrible alien species came to the city. This was definitely not a whim.

　　 "Of course this is not a whim, it was destiny that guided me to do this."

　　 The woman sat on her sofa with a smile and told Jenkins that although she could indeed see fate, Jenkins thought it was a joke this time.

　　 "So what is the reason?"

　　 he asked.

　　 "Because this matter needs to be solved by you, so I just provide you with a way to get involved."

　　 "Do you know something?"

　　 Jenkins thought of the third white gem that had been added to the "Disaster Poem" after the incident.

"Fortunetellers always think that we know much better than ordinary people, but in fact we are only looking at the future through dense fog. I never admit that I can see more things, all of which are the result of divination and prediction. "

　　 she said mysteriously, but she seemed quite happy that Jenkins was able to raise this question.

　　 "Although destiny is impermanent, it is not without any signs. You can find that there is something wrong with it, which means that my six months of teaching has not been wasted."

　　 "It's just because what you did in this matter is too obvious..."

　　 Jenkins muttered weakly, very doubtful whether the other party had seen the future indicated by the next emblem through "Epic of Time". But it didn't matter, because Miss Audrey was obviously helping herself, and he didn't have to try to figure out everything.

　　 Jenkins is busy between Ruen and Nolan because of various trivial matters, and Dolores is also busy because of busy business affairs. Alexia was not idle. She spent a week studying the corpse of Mr. Corpse brought back by Jenkins, and had a major gain.

　　 "Sorry Alexia, you really did the autopsy?"

　　 When I heard the news, Jenkins was still a little weird.

Chapter 1401 Chapter 1378 Cocktail Party

　　 "Why, will the autopsy of a corpse affect my image in your heart?"

　　 The short lady lifted her hair and asked teasingly.

"of course not."

　　 Jenkins shook his head quickly: "I'm just curious about how you can do an autopsy. This is not a skill that can be learned through ordinary methods."

"As long as there is determination, nothing is impossible to learn. A long time ago I knew a tomb keeper who lived in the country. Yes, a tomb keeper who retired from the church, and it is still a very rare female cemetery. I am here. She worked as an apprentice by her side for a period of time, and learned professional autopsy techniques at that time... Do you want to hear the conclusion? This is really a surprising discovery. The corpse itself is not of much value, at most It can explode more powerfully when used as a spelling material for [Dead Explosion Technique]. The real value is that I have found the cause of death."

　　 "Are you saying that Mr. Corpse became the cause of death for the corpse, or was it the cause of death when he was killed in front of me?"

　　 Jenkins asked.

　　 "It's the latter. I extracted this from the dense wounds that seemed to be penetrated by hundreds of arrows!"

　　 As she said, she showed Jenkins the glass vial in her hand that was not as thick as an index finger. This kind of bottle was a device that the benefactors would only buy when processing materials, except that they could only be found in the laboratories of universities.

　　 "This is... Yuehua?"

　　 stretched out his head and squinted his eyes for a while before he could see that there was a light yellow liquid in the vial, which looked very attractive. Jenkins took it and looked at the night sky outside the window before guessing what it was, because the moonlight in common sense should be blue or red.

　　 The cat lying on the coffee table immediately became alert.

"Yes, you said that the person who killed Mr. Corpse should be the projection of the primitive moon from the doomsday illusion. Now it seems that this guess is completely correct. The nature of these moonlights is more ancient than [No Light] The moonlight extracted by the believers of the Moon is more condensed and rich in spirituality, and the color is also in line with the record of the primitive moon in the material world. This is really amazing. I thought that the Doomsday Fantasy Realm is really just an illusion. Now it seems that it should contain It is very valuable to remember the information, matter, and spirit that actually existed in past history.

　　 If you have time, you can go around there more while ensuring your own safety. Maybe if you are not careful, you can make great discoveries that will change the understanding of human history. "

　　 Alexia said, and then took the small bottle from Jenkins and put it on the coffee table. I don't know if it was a coincidence, she just placed the bottle in front of the cat, and the chocolate bowed alertly, stretched her head and sniffed, showing great vigilance.

　　 A large-scale war can never be ended in one or two days. Not to mention the head-on war between the two countries, even the decisive battle in the broken islands in the open sea, which has been frequently reported since last week, has not ended.

　　The people living in Nolan are concerned about the smooth return of their relatives (the largest number of Nolan soldiers in the Royal Navy), but they also worry that they will be immediately thrown into another war.

　　 On the day Jenkins' letter from Ruen to Nolan reached Britney's hands, Hathaway expressed her concerns about war in the club. This worry is common in the city, and only a family like the Williams family without anyone in the army can show some indifference.

"Father sent a letter to his mother from the front line, saying that something is good, the final battle will be over soon, and then he will go home... Since last week, every letter he has written is this This kind of argument, because of excessive worry, his mother has asked him to put on his fingerprints next time he sends a letter to prove that he is really still alive."

　　 the red-haired lady said.

"It should be over soon. The naval battle on the Broken Isles has been fought for almost two months. Even if the two sides want to stick to it, there will be problems with the supply. After all, it is a naval battle... Don’t worry, Nolan Navy’s You should be more aware of combat effectiveness than I am."

　　 Jenkins comforted quietly, not knowing what to say.

　　 As if in a week, everyone around him was affected by the war. The ladies of Ruen and Nolan, and his friends all over the world, will talk about the impact of war on their lives. Only cats with a carefree life will not care about war, but occasionally in Jenkins. Eavesdrop on the content while talking as a daily entertainment.

　　 Dolores invited Jenkins to the diplomatic reception on Tuesday night, which is also the last day of April. The arrival of May also means that summer is coming soon. Jenkins felt melancholy when he thought of this, because he spent the most beautiful spring time in this snow country, and missed his arrival in this world. The first spring.

　　 It's not that he doesn't like Luen, but it is always regretful to miss the spring.

　　 Alexia does not participate in this kind of activity. She wants to read in the manor, and Julia can't participate in this high-end cocktail party, so she stays in the manor too.

　　 Jenkins originally planned to leave the chocolates. It would be very rude to bring a pet in this kind of social occasion. He didn't care about his own face, but this was a reception that Dolores invited, and he couldn't let Dolores lose face.

Of course, chocolate would not agree, and kept messing up while Jenkins changed his clothes. In the end, he almost let the black tuxedo from the church be scrapped. Jenkins could only promise to bring it, but it could only be hidden in his clothes. Can't mess around.

　　 "So you wore so many clothes today, just to prevent your chest from being swollen?"

　　 When I met Alexia on the second floor, she smiled and commented on Jenkins's dress. Now Ruen has completely spent the winter, and there is no need to put so many clothes in his dress at night.

　　 "But you have to admit that this way of dressing is very formal. It is said that people wear it like this when attending a cocktail party."

　　 He insisted.

"Yes, but that was the fashion of three hundred years ago. Now probably only the elderly nobles will choose this style of dressing when attending the king's banquet... Maybe you still need a top. Curly white wig, it will look more matching."

　　 Jenkins finally chose to accept Alexia’s suggestion, removed the cumbersome clothes and replaced them with dresses that matched the Dolores dress. But then there is no place for chocolate to hide, but Alexia thinks that chocolate can stand on Jenkins' shoulders.

　　PS: After an indirect reminder, change a bug. In Chapter 1218, it is mentioned that there is at most one chess piece that can be taken outside the Northland, but now it has been changed to two pieces.

1402 Chapter 1379 Earl Biden

　　 "Although few people bring pets on this occasion, considering that you are a foreigner and you are handsome, people may not care about chocolate."

　　 Alexia comforted.

　　 This reception did not choose to be held in the city, but in the manor owned by the royal family on the other side of the city. Usually, there is no one inhabited here. Dolores’s deceased grandfather only stays for a while every winter, so it’s just right to hold a cocktail party.

　　Because of the warmer temperature, the reception is not only indoors. In fact, you can see a long table from the entrance of the manor to the entrance of the house. The table is filled with all kinds of food and wine filled with silverware and disks.

　　 When Jenkins and Dolores arrived, there were already a lot of people coming. Men and women were talking with wine glasses in the courtyard or in the manor house. There were jewels and lively conversations everywhere.

　　 "Can I not drink alcohol?"

　　 After jumping from the carriage, he turned around and held the hand of Dololi ribbon in white lace gloves. The latter nodded lightly, maintaining an extremely solemn expression with a smile on his face.

　　 The arrival of Jenkins and Dolores did not cause any sensation at the reception, because there are many more important people here, and the protagonists this time are not these princes and princesses.

　　 As usual, Dolores first took Jenkins and the titular host of this reception, a distant relative of the royal family of Stuart, and an old earl who was idle in Ruen to say hello. The earl was very kind and didn't forget to ask Jenkins if he liked the eating habits of the Northland, and told him that the Fidgetley mission had arrived.

　　I have met the old earl, so naturally I will meet with Dolores’ brothers and sisters. Because of the war between the two countries in the South, Ruen’s succession to the throne is no longer the only focus of attention, but this does not mean that everything will be suspended.

　　 When greeted the Stuarts, Dolores still maintained that elegant and calm attitude. The two sides talked neither lukewarm nor lukewarm, not seeing the enemy or how close they were.

　　 It’s just that Dolores’ eldest brother showed great hostility towards Jenkins. Not only did he imply that Jenkins was only a baron at the beginning of his speech, but he also implicitly satirized that he brought the cat to such a serious social reception.

　　 Jenkins should only be annoyed by flies for a while, and didn't care about his attitude.

The Fidgetley Envoy and the Chesland Envoy came earlier than Jenkins and Dolores. When the two were entangled by the interlocutor, Jenkins noticed that the former was in the small garden in the courtyard, and Some of the nobles of the Northland talked, and the latter was in the front hall of the building, talking with another group of old nobles wearing wigs.

　　 "Should I go over and say hello?"

　　 Only then did he remember the position he should stand for. The original owner and the original owner’s family are both Fiddicelli. Although they are not the ancestors, at least this generation agrees with this identity.

In fact, some people thought of this earlier than him. When Dolores was surrounded by several young girls—it seemed to be her cousins ​​and cousins—someone handed Jenkins a note. . Jenkins looked down, then gestured to Dolores, and walked alone to the small garden on the side of the courtyard. Anyone with a heart can see this scene, but even the most sensitive socialist does not realize what it means.

　　 "Baron Williams, good evening."

　　 As soon as they met, Earl Biden took the initiative to shield everyone around him, let the three guards he carried with him watch the garden pavilion to prevent eavesdropping, then put his right hand on his left shoulder and bowed slightly to salute Jenkins. This is a completely unruly way of greeting. As Earl Biden, at least the real power duke or a member of the royal family of the kingdom can accept his etiquette, and real power dukes often have inextricable relationships with the royal family.

　　 "Good evening, Earl Biden, I am honored to see you on a foreign night. I hope you can get used to the eating habits here."

　　Earl Biden gave a big gift, but Jenkins was embarrassed and didn't know how to respond. The former saw that he was at a loss and took the initiative to straighten up and start talking, eliminating the need to talk about tedious etiquette.

"Baron Williams, before I came to Ruen, I heard that you were here as a guest. I was thinking about whether there would be a chance to meet you. I didn't expect that we would meet so easily. I just saw the one with you. The beautiful lady who appeared together, is that His Royal Highness Dolores Stuart?"

　　 He asked this question knowingly. As a diplomatic envoy before Luen, he must have known most of the situation here, and would never fail to recognize the princesses of the royal family, especially the princesses who participated in the throne struggle.

　　 "Yes, I am now living in Miss Stuart's house."

　　 he admitted.

"His Royal Highness is really a beautiful lady. Your vision is very good. Oh, I remembered one thing. In fact, I heard about it when I was in Berdylan. The Queen intends to promote your title to Viscount. This is this year. ......"

　　Earl Biden is very talkative, and as if he had already prepared a conversation with Jenkins tonight, he can follow Jenkins' thoughts when talking and everything. The two talked about the weather in Bel Dylan and Ruen, talked about the scale of the reception, and even talked briefly about the war with Chesland.

　　Earl Biden implied that this war has a very great victory for his country. Now he is only waiting for the end of the naval battle on the Western Front and throwing the Nolan Navy into the frontal battlefield, which will then form a crushing advantage for Chesland.

　　 Of course, when he meets Jenkins so enthusiastically, he will naturally not just chat about these topics. The conversation lasted for twenty minutes before he finally turned to the topic.

　　 "What do you think of Ruen's political situation?"

　　 "...It's chaotic."

　　 Jenkins tells the truth.

"It's really chaotic. The situation here is worse than I expected before I came here. I think you must have heard the rumors. The viscount of Chesland and I were summoned by your majesty, but in fact, nothing happened. It didn't come out. His Majesty hinted that we would persuade Stuart's successors instead of persuading him, which makes me very puzzling."

　　Earl Biden said.

"Oh, I think I probably know what this is because you just arrived in Luen, and there are probably some things that you don’t know. It’s really hard to inquire, but if you are interested, you can also hear the news. Actually, Salsi II His Majesty the World has announced to the young princes and princesses the way to choose the next king, that is, to evaluate them according to their respective government abilities. Obviously, dealing with troublesome envoys from foreign countries is also an important part of government abilities... ...Don't tell others that I said this news. It stands to reason that His Royal Highness Dolores Stuart shouldn't tell me such a private matter."

　　 When he said this, Earl Biden immediately showed an expression of understanding, and then thought about what Jenkins said.

1403 Chapter 1380 Ribbon

　　 "Speaking of which, do you have any plans to go to Berduran before this summer?"

　　Earl Biden thought for a while and then suddenly asked.

"Summer? Last fall, Miss Windsor invited me to take a summer vacation to her manor on the outskirts of Beldiran. If she remembers this, I think I will indeed go to Beldiran. Miss Windsor is... ..."

"What I know is the daughter of the Duke of Windsor. She is really a very sophisticated lady. Many men can't beat her... I suggest that you have time to go to Bel Dylan. It’s been half a year since the Ritter Prize. A lot of changes have taken place there. Your next trip to Berdylan will surely have a lot of wonderful gains."

　　 He said vaguely, strongly recommending Jenkins to go to Bel Dylan as soon as possible. But Jenkins didn't even handle the affairs of Ruen and Nolan. There would be time to go to Bel Dylan, so he can only say that he must go when he has time.
